Will Kempe was a song and dance man with the Chamberlain's Men. He parts ways with the company just as they are about to set up in their new digs, The Globe. He makes his way to an old friend's inn where he spends the evening singing, dancing, and learning to appreciate this newfangled instrument, a guitar, that a French monk has brought over from Spain.

This is the set up for what amounts to an Elizabethan revue with singing, dancing, and audience participation - it's easy and fun, I swear. It is Shakespeare lite - with a 45 minute running time, and Shakespeare lovely - with gorgeous tunes strummed by Ryszard Tyborowski and sung beautifully by Josée Vaillancourt.

Brian Richardson's Will Kempe is the glue that binds this show together. He jigs, he cavorts, he declaims, and all with a mischievous glint in his bright blue eyes that suits the Kempe character to a tee.

Kempe's Jig makes Shakespeare accessible and enjoyable to both devotees and novices. Huzzah!
